The Blood Type Test determines your specific blood type by identifying markers, called antigens, on the surface of your red blood cells. These markers reveal whether your blood type is A, B, AB, or O, and whether it is Rh-positive or Rh-negative. Knowing your blood type is essential for safe medical care and emergency preparedness.
Although all blood is made from the same basic components, differences in antigens create distinct blood groups. These antigens can trigger immune reactions if incompatible blood is introduced into the body, which is why accurate blood typing is critical for blood transfusions, surgeries, and pregnancy-related care.
There are four primary blood groups based on the presence or absence of A and B antigens. Each group interacts differently with the immune system and determines which blood types you can safely donate to or receive from. Group O blood is considered the universal donor for red blood cells, while Group AB individuals can receive blood from all types.
In addition to A and B antigens, the Rh (Rhesus) factor further classifies blood as positive or negative. Rh compatibility is especially important during pregnancy and transfusions. This test provides clear, definitive results so you can understand your blood type and its implications with confidence.
